Atlas's Polydioxanone monofilament synthetic absorbable suture is meticulously crafted from the polyester Poly(P-dioxanone). This advanced suture material is engineered to excel in two critical performance areas: tensile strength retention and absorption rate (loss of mass). Designed to provide reliable wound support over extended healing periods, our Polydioxanone suture ensures consistent and predictable performance for various surgical applications.
| PROPERTY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Type | Monofilament |
| Material | Polyester poly (P-dioxanone) |
| Color | Violet |
| Tissue reaction | Minimal |
| Absorption | The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 180 to 210 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 42 days. |
| Tensile Strength | 50% tensile strength is retained for 14 days |
| USP Range | 4/0-2 |

| CHARACTERISTIC |
|---|
| High tensile strength |
| Synthetic |
| Breaks down by hydrolysis |
| Monofilament with microscopic uniform diameter |
| Pliability and softness |
| Hermetically sealed packing |
| BENEFITS |
|---|
| Outstanding strength retention for extended wound support |
| Minimal tissue reaction |
